Tino Casali. The Austrian keeper. Looks impressive throughout the Argentina match. Anyone has more information on him?

Ukraine U20 beat USA U20 3-0, all the goals from Victor Kovalenko who is a massive talent.
Ukraine have some really good players coming through, Shaktar U19's looked a good side in the U19 CL two years ago.

Shakhtar got to the final this year as well where they were beaten 3-2 by Chelsea, Kovalenko was very impressive in that as well
Serbia 1:0 poor defending tho by Mexico.
Great free kick by Zivkovic 2:0 even Mexico looked better after conceding.
Great game for Sergej Milinkovic Savic,older brother of Vanja,height wise they are similar. I must say it was funny to watch him as no10,with his height he looked so out of place there.
Argentina already knocked off, 2 draws 1 loss. They considered themselves favorites
Yeah surprised at that.
Germany look favourites, their entire squad seems to be scoring goals although they did have an easy group.
I'm thinking of going for an 8 team acca on the quarter finalists.
Ghana
Serbia
Colombia
Ukraine
Austria
Germany
Portugal
Brazil

Awful weather here in NZ for todays games, windy, freezing and pouring rain, a few of these teams are going to really hate these conditions.
I wish only once to see seniors to play and fight like those under20 vs Hungary this morning...that wish never gonna be granted till i die,cnuts. Think Serbia deserved to go through,looked better during most part of game and even with 10 man during whole extra time,they looked and were better then Hungary.
I hope you didn't... surprised at the Ghana result, they were flying in the group stages. Ukraine v Senegal into extra time. 1-1 at the moment.

That GK from Senegal on pen shootout 
what a lunatic.
what a lunatic.So @steve zizou so far has predicted 25% correctly. That's Lawro standard predicting!
That was insane.That GK from Senegal on pen shootout
I did but I had 4 different bets. I was on a roll actually. I had on one slip, Mali to win, Serbia to draw, USA win and Senegal win. I forgot that they only took 90min result so that fecked things up. I was down to win about £1300+ from a £1 bet.I'll try again in the next round.
How good is Serbia? The US game was at 330am this morning so I certainly didn't watch.
Germany 1-0 Nigeria (half time)
Really strong performance so far, dominant on the ball, creating chances, not allowing them many opportunities for counterattacks. Stendera and Öztunali the outstanding performers.

Brazil v Uruguay goes to penalties. 0-0 after 120 minutes.
scores from the spot
Looks like he was a sub again but he is certainly playing his part in the tournament.
Brazil advance, 5-4 at penalties
Yay!
Quality penalties there.
Peirrera looked really good for Brazil. Surprised he was only a sub, is he usually on the bench for them?
The penalty from the captain was fantastic, right in the top corner, looked so calm when he took it.

IIRC, he started the earlier games but as of recent has been coming on from half time onwards. Still getting minutes and seems to be one of their best players.
May as well clarify we had it pretty much under control the first half and it was in the second that we struggled.
Such a shame, our record with them now reads 2-0/0-0/0-0. They've never managed to score against us, but our midfielders have also stopped scoring
It was weird to see Brazil finish so well in the shootout, some lovely taken penalties. Thought despite dominating they were poor in the finishing department in the 90 minutes but got slightly better as Pereira came on.
Really? Best penalty takers after the Germans IMO. Technically the best, it's holding their nerve were they can -rarely- mess it up.
I never ever ever ever expect to win a shootout against Brazil. That's the problem with the 0-0 strategy some are suggesting could work wonders in Copa América: you are as likely to jam the penos as you are to nick a goal over the game.
Yeah they were wonderful, I phrased that badly, what I meant was after seeing 120 minutes and around 40 shots which weren't converted (including quite a few easy chances not taken for Brazil). They some how turned on the style and took some delightful pens.
Haven't been catching the tournament.. Can someone maybe list some of the talents that caught their eye that maybe we should try to sign as a prospect for United?!
Apart from Perriera and Zivkovic.. Thanks

Zelalem from Ars has been amazing everytime he's played
Brandt, surely Bayern bound.
That challenge on Judivan was brutal. 7 months out for him now, that's why some players don't like to play these U20 championshiips. Feel bad for the kid, really talented.
It's not like the U-20 has a reputation for this kind of thing. Bad injures/tackles can happen at any level of football at anytime.
